Yeah, they can get really rude when talking about foreingers.. I mainly see this when they talk about Mexicans who've "Illegally Immigrated" and they ONLY refer to the people as illegals, taking away any kind of idenity of dignity by just making them 'illegal'.. Anyways, I can also see it to a lesser extent on debats about Iraq and so on.

No it is not rude. My own husband used to be a foreigner and was the first one to call himself one. Now that he is a naturaized US citizen he calls himself an American. What is wrong with calling a spade a spade so to speak?

Rude? Foreign doesn't mean friend or foe, good or bad, it simply means not domestic or of this country. To think it's rude is to advocate open borders and throw away all "foreign" policy.

Foreign simply means something from outside a particular country. It is not a put-down or a criticism.

Since when is foreign derogatory?
If people take offense at the word foreign- they must have a severely limited vocabulary. I can't imagine what else they might find offensive.

I've heard that ducks don't like to be called ducks. Instead they prefer to be called Quackmasters.
PC is so out the window.
I think you are a Quackmaster!
